Hello,
I'm wondering whether anyone out there has ever seen or heard of an INIT
that will load (force) the PRAM settings to a default to be specified in the
file on disk. We are running off an AppleShare fileserver at the
facility where
I work and lend out several boot disks for classes and public use.
However, people frequently change the Control Panel settings to their own
preferences, which has caused many problems in the past for people booting off
of our network disks (e.g. RAM Cache set ON to 384K on 1-meg SEs or AppleTalk
turned off).
If anyone has any suggestions, these are also welcome. I am willing to
hack together an INIT if nothing has been written, but I need to know
some info,
first - specifically, how Apple is storing the info in the PRAM these days and
if there are any conflicts loading the PRAM at startup might cause. Hints on
programming INITs are also welcome as I am fairly new at that.
(I generally program in THINK Pascal 2.0)
Please reply by e-mail, as I sometimes miss articles here.
Thanks in advance,
